Statewide High-Resolution Lidar to improve Electric Grid Wildfire Risk

Our company has served forestland owners, managers and landowners for more than 40 years in the Western US. Today our Northwest Management and BARR Geospatial teams provide natural resource and vegetation digital population inventories, wildfire fuel reduction applications, hazard mitigation plans, fire ignition but more importantly fire burn severity projections, and economic assets-at-risk valuations. Using the most reliable technology coupled with advanced AI analyses, we operate with boots-on-the-ground and through high resolution Lidar and imagery collected from manned aircraft. This presentation will provide a brief overview of out Team’s Lidar analyses – specifically, the accuracy and field validation of our Lidar results, plus our application of these analyses to electrical power distribution wildfire risk management. Finally a summary of the border-to-border high-resolution data and analysis consortium we have launched within the State of Idaho.
